About: I've cared for dogs for over 10 years and cats for 19. I grew up with dogs, and in spring 2026 I adopted a 105 lb Great Dane/Boxer mix who's now a senior, so I'm comfortable with large and giant breeds, and with older dogs who need a gentler pace, joint-friendly walks, and close attention to changes in health. I also have a mischievous cat, Monkey, who’s become a senior himself. I have cared for rabbits, gerbils, quail, and mice, so I'm used to adjusting routines, diets, and handling to each animal's needs. I’m currently working from home part time and have two school age children, so I’m most available in the mornings and early afternoon during the week, with more availability during weekends and some ability to drop in during evenings and nights. Fully fenced back yard. Resident dog (large, senior, male) and cat. Children in the home. I love taking dogs for walks, playing with your pet, and giving them snuggles.
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”
“Mandi was great with our dog. She was punctual and friendly. Our pup loved her (loves everyone though haha). She kept us updated throughout the evening while we were gone with pictures and messages. She comforted our pup when people were letting off fireworks unexpectedly. Would hire again!”
“Ali was amazing - I had a last minute family emergency and she was able to accommodate staying with my dog, keeping me updated with details and photos. It looked like my dog had the best time with her! She’ll be my go-to moving forward!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets ever since middle school. I’ve frequently walked dogs, and done plenty of pet sitting for dogs cats and all other pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I am happy to coordinate walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s normal routine. I understand the importance of consistency and will make sure your pet receives dependable care and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I always make sure pets have a clean, comfortable, and safe environment. I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household rules. I also believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Currently I’m work from home with a very flexible schedule. I love all animals and currently have another Vizsla named Kiwi who is 2. I used to run with my previous vizsla while I trained for marathons and triathlons. I like going for hikes and being outdoors so open to longer trips to the dog parks if preferred or just a stroll around the neighborhood. I enjoy playing with the fur buddies or snuggle up with them. My family includes 3 kids who are currently in college and all out on their own so I have extra time on my hands. I would love the opportunity to be of any help and once again have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m very attentive to details and safety is my number 1 priority. I have dog obedience and training skills to help communicate with our furry friends. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me time to help busy clients and spend time with your furry friend. I am adaptable to various needs, attention to details and truly honored to help. Safety is my number one priority when caring for someone’s pet. I pay attention to body language and social cues of your dog and others that may be around to help keep everyone happy and safe.
“Talia was awesome with Maxy and the unexpected visit of MJ (the neighbor’s cat) She talked to them and took very good care of them. We already have another visit booked for this week.”
“Rebecca was perfect for our two cats and our home on our almost-two-week vacation. By sending photos almost every day and giving us updates about our cats, we were able to feel secure about their care and let go of worries. Both of our cats needed medication which did not daunt Rebecca. One of our cats had an existing condition which was causing her to lose hair and Rebecca stayed on top of it and even called our vet on a particularly concerning day when she was unable to reach us--Rebecca offered to make an appointment with the vet for the week we returned home. We were impressed with her initiative. We also have close to 50 indoor plants and many outdoor plants that Rebecca watered on schedule. She left the home tidy and clean and the cats feeling loved and cared for emotionally and physically. We highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Lizzy was great with our elderly dog. She has multiple daily meds and a special diet, and actually got a little bit sick while we were gone. Lizzy was kind and patient with her. We got daily updates and pictures and felt totally comfortable while we were away. Zeba was happy and relaxed when we got back and had obviously been well cared for. We'll definitely use Lizzy again!”

“Amanda was terrific. She provided great communication during her stay and I really appreciated the daily photos and reports. She was great with my dogs. She is very warm and friendly and I enjoyed the interaction.”
“Anali was great. She provided us with photos and detailed updates about our 2 dogs and was prompt with replies if I had a question. She is very friendly and energetic. I would definitely seek her services again.”
“Lensy was amazing with my two pups, including meds, walks, and lots of love and attention, which is what they need. She’s great with communication and updates, and took excellent care of my two doggos!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mount Horeb walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mount Horeb maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mount Horeb choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
